Arguably his greatest achievement in fiction, Jean-Paul Sartre's Roads to Freedom trilogy chronicled the travails of socialist professor Mathieu from the 1930s through the German occupation of France. Sartre later revisited the saga, completing these two substantial additions in 1949, only to abandon the project.

"The quality of Sartre's writing, accompanied here by engaging essays and interviews, has never been more evident than in this excellent translation ... fresh, organic, and decidedly human."—The Guardian (UK)
